Greetings Dev.to community!
Odoo, previously known as OpenERP, has become one of the most popular Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the world. With more than 7 million global users, Odoo offers comprehensive and flexible integrated business solutions for organizations of all types and sizes.
Odoo is an open source ERP platform developed by Odoo S.A., a Belgium-based company. Since its launch in 2005, Odoo has evolved from a simple business management system to a complete suite of business applications, covering various aspects of a company's operations.
Here is my journey related to Odoo development in several applications that I am developing in my current company, I want this to be a useful odoo series for all of you.
